Henry m. Iioblnson, president of the First Notional Bank ot Los Ancelcs and chairman of tho bankers' committee on ship securities, who presided at an or ganization meeting In 45 Broadway yes tcrday, told tho assembled bankers that tho flhlpplnr; Board is commlttod to the policy of selling tho Government owned ships, which cost T2.B0,000.000 In round numbers, and that In his onlnion nh mnrA than $1,800,000,000 would bo realized. Ho said that tho opinion In Administration circles was that tho ships must be sold on a basis to permit private cntcrprlso to handle them, nnd that tho bankers must come to tho asslstanco of the Ship ping Board in financing- tho purchases from the Government. The bankers present at tho meeting wero appalled by tho problems at stake as outlined by tho chairman, and thero wero two prompt refusals to respond to the Invitation to servo on tho executive committee The only action taken at tho meotlng was the appointment of John E. Barber of Harris. Forbes & Co. as oxecu tlvo secretary, with an office In 45 Broad way, and tho selection of John McIIugh, vice-president of the Mechanics and Metals Natlonnl Hank : George W. Hodges of llemlck & Hodges, president ui mo investment unnKers Association, una Allen B. Forbes of Harris, Forbes & W, as members of tho executive com mlttec, with" power to add others after consultation with tho chairman. Daniel G. Wing, president of tho First National Bank of Boston, and Mortimer U SehUt of Kuhn, Locb & Co. refused to servo on the executive committee, tho former giving no reason and tho latter stating that on account of tho departure of Otto 1L Kahn of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. for three months in Europo he would navo no -time- to give to the enterprise, Mr. Schtff also told tho chairman that all that thT bankers were In a position- to do was to advise regarding the financing of individual purchasers ot the ships and regarding the sale of ship securities. Ha added that It seemed to him that the Shipping Board was really asking tho bankers to formulate a policy for them to pursue, and that such ac tion would not be within the power or knowledge of the bankers. Tho chair man disclaimed any desire, cm tho part or the Shipping Board for outside die' tatlcn and said that what tho Washing ton authorities wanted was alternative suggestions for financing the ships. The comprehensive character of the work before the committee was Indicated by the chairmen In the following state mcnt of problems to be Investigated 1 What Is the world's need for ships? I What should bo tho maximum ton nage of our merchant fleet? 3 How many and what types ot ships needed to bring tho fleet Into proper talanco? 4 How should ships required to balanco tho fleet bo constructed that is, by the Government for sale later, or by private operators? 0 What dispo sition should bo made ot ships now owned but not needed for a balanced merchant fleet? 6 Should detlinlte trade routes be established and on what basis? 7 What aro tho present ship values? 8 What aro proper loaning values? 1 Other questions necessarily concom Kant for the determination of tho prob lems would bo some laid down In the law creating tho Shipping Board. They are: (a) Investigate tho relative cost ot building merchant vessels In the United States and In foreign maritime countries, (b) The relative cost, ad. vantages and disadvantages of oper ating In foreign trade vessels under United States registry and under foreign registry, (c) uules under which ves sels are constructed abroad and the United States, and the methods of classi fying and rating same, (d) Tho devel opment ot an ample American marine Insurance, (e) The navigation laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. (f) Tho legal status of mortgago loans on vessel property with a view to Im proving tho security of such loans and ot encouraging Investment In American shipping.
